I had a conversation with and Intel employee today, that person indicated that Intel and Nvida will indeed be working more closley going forward. Initillay it will be on a low cost board to replace the (ATI) Grant County and Grant County 2 Intel boards

I am pretty sure that Intel didnt decide to stop making the ATI chipset boards, we were told by Intel have them in the distribution through the end of this year. I am guessing AMD pulled the plug on that in order to disrupt Intel business.
